i would take 3 Tkachucks on my team. Dude is built for post season.

It's always hilarious when fans love the "character" guys and the other teams' hate them. Tkachucks seem like total a-holes, but only in hockey can they also be beloved of their fans and I agree with you, we need a few of them on our team too. 

Bruins fans love Marchand, Leaf fans love Kadri, once upon a time we loved Barnaby. Rats help you win in the playoffs though, no question.

We could see two sweeps completed tonight and I hope we do because (1) Shittsburgh, and (2) I want to see the presumptive favorite knocked out in the first round by a nothing team.

Columbus is a nothing team? I do agree that those 2 sweeps would be funny.

All teams who make the playoffs are not “nothing teams” good grief..

:facepalm:

There is a great article in The Athletic today about teams with high expectations which were swept by nothing teams.  One of the featured teams is the 1992-93 Boston Bruins.  I needn't tell you which the "nothing team" was.

I’m finding it interesting how many places are reporting the Ovi-Svech fight with Svech’s age. You don’t see that when the Tkachuks go at it. Are they trying to make Ovi look like a bad guy? A (comparatively) scrawny 19 year old challenged him to a fight in a hockey game—there’s nothing wrong with knocking him out because of it. Svech knows better now.

Bad terminology, but if Columbus wins it will be a huge upset.

I think Columbus is trying to pull the LA. Add a ton of talent and take your shot in 1 year. They added, Duchene, Dzingel, Kinkaid, McQuaid all in February. They are taking their 1 shot it seems.

But can they keep it up?

There's a couple of series that I'm not sure can be upsets. I think we all know Tampa is done and Coops will be fired. But I think the Avs and Canes might stand a chance. I think the last game with the Caps was a fluke, but not so sure. They looked pretty bad. 

Nice thing is, it's been an extremely fun first round. Not one I don't think we've seen in several years. Only two teams I'm rooting for are the Blues and Canes. But it should make for a killer second round if some of the top teams are knocked out.

Does Nathan McKinnon have the best wrist shot in the game?

 

I know Laine and OV may have the best one timers. 

Matthews maybe? Eich has a good one, but accuracy isn't good enough 

They might. But you can't rule out Eichel. He's in the top.
